I’m a sucker for some flowers, and the Chicago Botanic Garden has tons of them. It’s one of my favorite places to go visit in the summer, and the place is big enough so that it’s hard to get bored exploring.

It’s $25 (per car) to park and get into the garden, which is not bad if you have a car full of people and are ready to spend a few hours walking around. It’s also a great place to get some photography practice (as you can see below).

Outfit details: top from Loft Outlet (which unfortunately isn’t online yet, so here’s a similar top from Target, and one from HauteLook), shorts are older but are from Hollister (lol), and my necklace is from Harper and Jewels. Use my code GIRLINPURSUIT for 15 percent off your next order.
